Redline are working on new decals, but I have no idea when they will be for sale.

Email Gork at Redline, he may be able to help.

Tony

i've gotta say that you can't beat a pair of MK1 EZ bars on a TA.

They are the same size as a pair of CW Pros but are a lot rarer and era correct.

Wow Jim, what a sales pitch....

I do like em, but if I get these the forklifters are gonna have to wait.....

jimwise68 · « **Reply #33 on:** September 12, 2006, 02:26 PM »

I've seen more forklifters latley than MK1 EZs!

Have you both many other Redlines, if so any pics?
I saw that freestyler one you got on ebay Ratty, have you built it up? What steal that was!!

RATTY · « **Reply #35 on:** September 12, 2006, 03:59 PM »

frame and forks were a bargain, but the bits to build it have crippled me, I am still trying to get the forklifter bars...

but it does ride like a dream, took it to rom a few days ago, it was just great

jimwise68 · « **Reply #36 on:** September 12, 2006, 04:00 PM »

I've got just the one.

Tricky · « **Reply #37 on:** September 12, 2006, 04:04 PM »

Hey Jim, you may have just the one, but blow me its a bit special

I wanna put tuffs on it, but ive had to settle for z rims (arriving soon) Have you seen the price of red tuffs

Tricky · « **Reply #39 on:** September 12, 2006, 04:19 PM »

How did you two guys get into Redline? Did you used to race em?
Ratty, goona clean up my PL2 tonight and get it off to the chromers/powder coaters.........ahhhhhhh cant decide chrome or paint..I used to have a red race redline, that was dark red with chrome forks.... would look good with an early sticker set on. What you recon?

RATTY · « **Reply #40 on:** September 12, 2006, 04:24 PM »

I raced for a team called hotshot who were the distributers at that time, I went from a mongoose 2, to a diamond back, to a race inc in 4 weeks, then I got the PL20, it was just a blinding bike, a t the time it was like a mk2 escort compared to an opel manta, it just flew

Tricky · « **Reply #41 on:** September 12, 2006, 04:27 PM »

So what happened to your original PL20?
Andy Ruffel had an Opel Manta off Mongoose lol, remember then Raleigh gave hima a XR4i

jimwise68 · « **Reply #42 on:** September 12, 2006, 05:02 PM »

I had a "Wayne's World" moment, back in 1983. Saw a white Carrera in a bike shop in Rayleigh Essex.

Went with my dad to get it (xmas present) about 4 days later and it had been sold. Never saw another one like it. Got a Mongoose Californian instead and have always liked Redlines.

Finally got one after a 23 year wait!

I snapped the bloody forks and at the same time I dislocated my knee, so I kinda had to give up racing, found the delights of the flesh and bottle and sold it to a friend of steve gilleys for a score....
